Father! The situation of Korea is at an acute point.

1

Father! The situation of Korea is at an acute point. Of course, the situation of Asia and the situation of the world, as well, are spinning, having lost their direction amid a whirlpool. We know that it will not do unless we get out of this whirlpool from the top to the bottom by your lowering a line to us, our holding on to that line, and establishing our direction. But these people do not know that it is standing in a position of having to establish its location by waking up and finding its direction.

Who must help it find its direction? We know that the person who knows the direction must do that. Because I knew the way that others did not know, I have offered my life and endured the way of suffering. The fact is that I knew it was a problem, and it was a problem to live for you.

Since through your love you have led me to a position that no one else can come to, at this point, I cannot drink the bitter cup of the defeated and go the way of sorrow. Please allow us to be able to proclaim that we will unite North and South Korea centered on you by once again equipping and banding together before you the young members of the Unification Movement in Korea. Please allow the division of the East and the West to become one centered on you.

Father! Through offerings, we must connect everything of the historical individuals that was divided among individuals; through offerings, we must connect everything of the miserable families that was divided among the families; through offerings, we must connect the divided situations of the nations; and through offerings, we must connect the divided situations of the world.

Father, we know the fact that you are looking for a religious movement that must take responsibility for these things. We will have to once again realize that the movement that must take on that awesome mission is this very Unification Movement.

Now, before long, the Unification Movement will lay the internal and external foundation to cope with this amazing mission. Therefore, we earnestly request that you let this movement become one that determines all kinds of duties of loyalty and filial piety in relation to this awesome mission, and we earnestly hope and desire that you will realize everything according to your Will.

Requesting once more of you, Father, that you will let us become the altar of unification that can offer ourselves as living offerings until the final second, we have humbly prayed all these things in the name of the True Parents. Amen.
